The one thing that has remained unchanged through the generations is the brand’s signature craftsmanship seen in its use of rare and exotic diamonds, solitaires, hallmarked gold jewellery and jadau kundan polki.

This season, we have used geometric and asymmetrical patterns, inspired by nature, animal motifs, and temple jewellery. A lot of 14 and 18 karat jewellery, incorporating blue and pink precious stones are also part of the collection. All the gems that we use in our jewellery are hand-picked and come with a guarantee of a lifetime. We have also used hallmark gold and diamonds solitaires.

What’s trending?Splashes of vibrant colours and floral designs with white and coloured diamonds, embellished with precious gemstones, are trends to follow this year. Kundan polki jewellery, which is inspired from the Mughal era and diamond jewellery has been prominent, too. Chokers, satlaras and, mathapattis in diamonds have become major trends without diminishing the classic look of polki jewellery. For pre-wedding functions, modern brides are opting for classic pieces that pair elegantly with their ensembles and can be worn post the wedding. Minimalistic and vintage designs fused with Indian traditions are also trending. Classic designs, with natural whites are eternal and very popular with modern brides. Both, cut and uncut diamond stones continue to be a norm for brides focused on both family and work.

Who is a stand out bride?All aspects of a bride’s appearance should complement each other. The real beauty of the jewellery lies in the blend of spiritual and cultural essence worn on the most auspicious occasion of a woman’s life. The jewellery adorned must be also chosen keeping in mind the design and colour of the outfits, and the time and type of occasion. Do not hesitate to mix and match coloured stones. Accessorizing and being experimental with your jewellery also adds to the final effect. She can choose jhumars, maatha paasas, chokers, long layered necklace sets with earrings to match. Or she can pick kadas with rings, haathphools with a combined arsi, payejeb or payals, too are of intricate focus.
